I would have preferred that Hope be the one kidnapped and in danger, instead of Ciara. This sets them up for a dramatic and romantic rescue.. Ofcourse the whole Ciara kidnapping thing was done very poorly, so without a better story it wouldnt have mattered..

Or Maybe HOPE gets sick, or shot.. if written well they could have lots of Drama revolve around that.

The way they are writing for them they both come off as kinda pathetic in different ways.

Hope being kidnapped has been done so many times before, I don't even know how many.

She's been kidnapped by Stefano 1990-1994, Jude St Clair in 1996, Stefano in 1999, Princess Gina and Kurt in 1999-2000, Larry Welch in 2002, Andre in 2004, Andre in 2005, Patrick in 2006, Ava in 2008. Those are the ones I can think of right now.
